C'mon, Robin. It's time to _start_ naming names -
and providing dates, locations, and contacts
when possible. Time to take the gloves off, eh?
Kind regards,

who just put their mainframe-to-server
conversion on hold when it was revealed that the next stage of their
conversion would be many millions of bucks.
Some things make sense for the mainframe, some things make sense for the
servers. Creating an MXG PDB is perfect for a server - it's a pretty
straight forward, self contained process.

Hands up all of you that have successfully migrated your SAS/MXG
applications from MVS to Windows and saved money.
Hands up those of you that believe it is now costing more?
The MXG PDB is a classic example of an application that can be
successfully
moved from mainframe to a windows or Unix and provide a better TCO along
with improved performance, function and productivity.
In fact, if I was asked to develop an MXG PDB from scratch for a site I
wouldn't even consider using MVS. A reasonable server class desktop, with
XP
Professional and some FC connections to SAN storage would be a better and
cheaper way to go in almost all cases.
